Description David Nielsen 2003-05-24 06:57:03 UTC

I've seen this in the cause of my work on the ebuild janitor project, if
mfpmath=sse,387 is set in CFLAGS and the ebuild filters -mfpmath=sse - this will
leave ,387 hanging and thus cause the configure script.

several ebuilds are affected - grepping the portage dir would be the best way to
find them all.

off the top of my mind, I can remember that transcode is affected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add -mfpmath=sse,387 to cflags
2. emerge transcode
3. watch failure message that the compiler is unable to produce executables.



Expected Results:  
filtered -mfpmath correctly, and thus emerge being succusful.

I've added the new filter-mfpmath function the the transcode ebuilds (and every 
other ebuild that had filter-flags mfpmath in it), so this bug could be closed now.
